dhcpd on Solaris 10

[Jason Penton]

Hi Glen, *

Solaris x86 64-bit.

Solaris and linux boxes running same version of dhcpd (tested 3.1.2
and 4), same config, and same network segment! Also, made sure that
exactly the same requests were coming in from the clients. I have
eliminated all the 'variables' and at this stage im only left with the
OS. Seems Solaris 10 update 6 is doing something strange.


Cheers
JAson
